Power Snake Mamba vs. Synergistic Master

I bought a couple of Synergistic Master Couplers, and took one of them apart. Then I build my own version using a Wattage 320 IEC connector, a Hubbell 5266 AC connector, and five feet times three of 12 guage solid core ground wire with polyproplene tube as the dielectric. Voila! It sounds exactly the same as the AC Master Coupler. Total cost for materials was $35.00. But don't tell anyone else about our little secret, okay? Cheers.

Alexc, I did try the EEL on my transport and dac, when I did that I had to put the SR on the amp, the bass got a little heavy and slower. I prefer the EEL on the amp, it really changes the whole soundstage, ie, deeper, better imaging and increased clarity on the top and especially the bottom end - I know the front end is usually where PC's make the biggest difference so go figure. My preamp power cord is not detachable. I think what I probably need is the EEL on my front end and amp.

Thanks. I just successfully bid on a pair of five foot Eels. Brian was indeed a pleasure to deal with. A down to earth, straigthforward guy. if the cords are half as good as you and other claim, I'll be keeping him busy over the next couple of months :-)

Congratulations! You will not be disappointed!

I never tried the standard Mamba, it was dicontinued too quickly (like after 2 months, or something). I liked the Reference Master Coupler better than the Black Mamba with either my Rogue or Krell amps. I liked the Black Mamba better than the standard Master Coupler, however. I didn't like any of them on my CD player. Search the threads for my extensive comparison of all of these, and more. It was called "My Sidewinder progress", began in May 2000...Now, the SR Reference seems to be beating the FIM Gold cord on my Rogue amp, ever since I got a PS300 for the CD player.
